I think it makes more sense and it's more intuitive having that slider do two similar tasks.
Now....Is it possible?

I really like this idea regarding dual use of the off switch.
I have a question in relation to it.
The purpose of turning totally off is presumably to save battery power.
At what point does the energy consumed in leaving it on cross over with the extra energy consumed in a total reboot of the system?
If this is a moot point, then why not have the switch just turn the 505 totally off instead. That way a person could just leave it on and let it time out or turn totally off with the switch.
